Tour A classic canal house distinguished by its characteristic neck gable, immediately drawing the eye. The entrance is situated directly at street level, as the original stoops have disappeared over time. On the bel-etage, generous southern light enters through the tall windows, accentuating the sense of space. At the rear lies a deep garden, remarkable in both scale and tranquillity. Positioned on the north side, the garden is sheltered and serene. The central staircase provides access to the upper floors. On the first floor, the generous room dimensions and ceiling heights allow for a variety of uses, including living, working, or sleeping. At the canal side, large windows offer expansive views over the water, while the garden side is characterised by softer light and a more subdued atmosphere. The upper floors follow a similar layout, with two rooms per level separated by a central hallway. This structure allows for a flexible configuration, suitable for multiple bedrooms, potentially combined with bathrooms and dressing areas. Throughout the house, the connection with the surroundings remains tangible: animated and open towards the canal, quiet and enclosed towards the garden. Beneath the roof, a more intimate living level emerges, where the roof structure remains visible and the atmosphere becomes increasingly personal. This floor is well suited for bedrooms or a more private use. Above this level, a loft—accessible by ladders—provides additional storage space. The roof and structural elements lend these uppermost floors a distinct and authentic character. Throughout the property, a careful balance is maintained between its monumental framework and the freedom of layout. The historic structure forms the foundation, while the interior can be fully adapted to contemporary living. The exceptional depth of the building, the light from the canal, and the expansive garden together create a solid basis for a variety of residential concepts, ranging from a generous city residence to a thoughtfully zoned combination of living and working. De Koopman II offers the opportunity to transform a monumental canal house into a refined and contemporary living environment.
